I've seen a few guides to setting this up but maybe you can refer to what you used to set your own system up? Right now I'm utilizing streamio plus debridio but I've read the plex + radarr/sonarr is much superior... I"m not too tech savvy so kind of hestiant to set up

The *arr stack was a pain.

You'll need prowlarr for downloading. And a Bittorrent client that works with it (e.g. Ktorrent doesn't).

Then you'll set up radarr/sonarr, and ensure they can talk to prowlarr.

Setting up Plex is straightforward. But I think you do need to make it visible to radarr/sonarr.

It was definitely a pain, but once I had it set up it's been fine.

Trash Guides [1] is your friend. Requires a bit of understanding whats going on but if all of these are going to be on the same computer this makes setting it up where data doesn't have to get copied around and waste time.

To be perfectly honest, the seedbox provider had all of these installed and hooked into each other. I only had to add my various logins and configure some profiles. I would think most seedboxes offer a variation of this, so you’re not starting from scratch.

Used YAMS myself which is basically just a glorified docker-compose file.

I am tech savvy but hate toil. I just launched Gemini cli and ask it to install the *arr stack and it did everything for me to my satisfaction. Heck, it even recommended a few cool plugins I didn't know about. My only problem is I'm not a member of any private torrent sites :(
